About

My name is Make-up Dr. Shari (aka, Shari Smith) I was a corporate 9-to-5’er turned make-up/hair “haute” girl. I graduated, with

honors, from acclaimed Vancouver Film School’s program, Make-up Design for Film & Television. I am currently working in Los Angeles, CA as a makeup/special fx artist, wig maker & writer.

I write for Examiner.com as their LA Make-up Examiner, writing beauty articles and occasionally covering events like IMATS LA. I recently created a professional facebook page http://on.fb.me/mkdrshari. I have a passion for make-up and a wig for every day of the week. I like to mix things up and try new things.

Some of my favorite brands include M.A.C., Make Up For Ever, Napoleon Perdis, Benefit, Eve Pearl, L’Oreal, Urban Decay, NARS and Bobbi Brown to name a few. For skin care I am big on Neutrogena, Keihl’s, Clinique and Embryolisse. I love false eyelashes, especially the half/quarter/accent lashes for the way they really open up the eyes and change a woman’s attitude completely. Cutting up and layering the false lash pieces is also a fun technique.

I have a passion for the beauty. I love to search out new and interesting things. I am constantly trying to learn and improve my craft. I love to talk about beauty. I love to help others.
